The Right and Left Hands

Now let me see if I get this straight... DHS's Janet Neapolitano is standing by this analysis, especially the idea of "extremist points of view" leading to violence.

Yet Dr. Hansen is using very similar rhetoric to that used by anti-abortion demonstrators, who liken abortion clinics to "factories of death". Does this mean that Dr. Hansen will be held to account if someone derails a coal train or sabotages a coal fired power plant?

How true, Gideon. Only reactionaries must be held to account for their words.

By the way, since when is holding the DHS to account being "anti-Washington"?

I know! Wouldn't it be nice if people realized that Jim Hansen, who wrote one letter to the UK Guardian making a poor analogy is EXACTLY the same as Army of God's Stephen Jordi!

By making this outrageous thread of idiocy comparing the head of NASA's comments about coal to the Army of God, or maybe even the American Coalition of Life Activists' comments etc about abortion.

Well that's how I see it, because last I checked, no single protester has been held accountable for anti-abortion violence. Except for maybe the protesters that actually did the violence!
